Not only excellent placement within the show and appropriate placement for the date, but I think it was perfectly placed within Phish's overall career and well placed in terms of time since Jerry's death. This is the one for me.... so far.

That shit was sick.First I realized what they were playing. Then I realized that we were not far from Boston. Then I realized this was the bands Triumphant return to the Good woods after a 5 year exile by the previous venue owners. And I could see so many people around me working the same thought patterns out.

By the time Trey belted out "Its been such a long Time" ...

Well the place collectively lost its shit.

May be the best show opener I've ever seen.

Fluff Hampton may edge iot out because we had been deprived for so long. But not by much.

Asheville this year had a Halley's Comet that was nice for the "central part of town" that was more than festive.

This is a very tough question, but now that I think about it, I totally agree with the Terrapin placement. I'm convinced the band knew they were going to do this for several days before because there was an excitement to all of the shows beforehand, but especially in VA Beach that night.

I also liked the Carini encore following the Carini Antelope on 4/3/98.
